UNIT 2 LOOKING INTO THE FUTURE
Ⅰ.阅读理解

(2023·石家庄市高三质检)These are some ideas that some people came up with about what the life will be like in the year 2500.
We will have established a base on the moon.School kids can take field trips to the moon weekly.We will have found cures (疗法) for AIDS and cancer.The war will have ended and peace flows freely through the land.Kids will learn more and be smarter than ever before! History will be the main subject at school.Cafeteria (自助餐厅) food will be delicious! You just walk up to a machine,stick out your tongue,and it will scan your taste buds (味蕾) to see what you want to eat.

Here I am in the wonderful year of 2500 and life is so easy.I work in a pet store and it is so hard! I have to wake up at midnight every day and fly my car to the store.It takes so long to get there.It takes me 20 seconds to get to the store in Mississippi from my home in Florida! At work,I have to push 5 buttons and then I go home.It takes 2 seconds and that is like forever.

In the year 2500,I think we will have invented cars that run on things we don't need like garbage.Tail gas will smell like whatever you like such as chocolate.I also predict that buildings will be able to go into a different dimension (维) so your car won't hit them.The cars in 2500 don't fly,for we haven't got that technology yet,but they can hover (盘旋) up to seven feet.These cars are made for speed!

Instead of cars,we may have hovering devices that float around.We could also have electric cars instead of gaspowered cars.Food might be more healthy.What I believe is that the environment will change the most.The environmental changes will also determine many other changes.If more people try to help the environment,then perhaps in 2500 we will have more forests and wildlife.If people won't help the environment,then we will have no forests and little wildlife left.
